A New Dawn

Why this exists

Most quit-smoking apps are subscription services that monetise the habit you’re trying to break. A New Dawn is a one-time purchase. Pay once, use it for the rest of your smoke-free life.

The app does one thing well: it shows you clearly and honestly what quitting has achieved. Every hour that passes is time your body has been healing. Every pound the counter ticks up is money that stayed in your pocket. The numbers are motivating in a way that willpower alone rarely is.

What it does

• Smoke-free timer

  A live counter shows days, hours, and minutes since your quit date. It runs on your iPhone and on your Apple Watch — glance at your wrist and the number is there, no unlock required.

• Money saved

  Enter how many cigarettes you smoked per day, your pack size, and what a pack cost. A New Dawn calculates the exact amount you’ve saved, displayed in your local currency. The figure updates in real time and is available as a widget on your Home Screen and Lock Screen.

• Cigarettes avoided

  A running count of every cigarette you haven’t smoked since you quit. Small numbers at first. They add up quickly.

• Health milestones

  From 20 minutes after quitting to 10 years, the body repairs itself in well-documented stages. A New Dawn tracks 15 milestones and sends you a notification at each one — carbon monoxide clears, blood pressure normalises, lung capacity improves, cancer risk falls. Each milestone is a marker of real, measurable recovery.

• Craving toolkit

  A craving typically peaks and passes within 5 minutes. The craving tab starts a countdown the moment you feel the urge. Watch the timer and wait it out. On Apple Watch, tap Craving and the countdown runs right on your wrist with a haptic notification when the time is up.

• Widgets

  Add a small or medium Home Screen widget showing your smoke-free days, money saved, and cigarettes avoided. A Lock Screen widget and Apple Watch complication keep the number visible wherever you look.

• Apple Watch app

  The watch app has three tabs: your smoke-free timer (large day count at a glance), your stats (money saved and cigarettes avoided), and the craving countdown. All data is read from the shared group container — no separate setup needed on the watch.

• Privacy by design

  A New Dawn stores your quit date and settings locally in SwiftData. Nothing is transmitted to Whiteforge. There are no servers, no analytics, and no telemetry. Purchase validation is handled entirely by Apple through StoreKit.

One purchase

A New Dawn costs £8.99 / $9.99 as a one-time in-app purchase. There is no subscription, no free tier with locked features, and no upsell. Buy once; keep it permanently. If you get a new iPhone or restore from backup, tap “Restore purchases” in Settings to recover access at no charge.

Privacy

Your quit date, cigarette count, and pack cost stay on your device. A New Dawn does not transmit personal data to Whiteforge or any third party. Purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store using StoreKit; no payment or receipt data is sent anywhere else. See the full privacy policy for detail.
